Story
RIVER! The services we provide are truly invaluable to the hundreds of dogs we rescue each year. Recently, we were asked to help a dog out of Nicholas County. A rescue partner stepped in and removed him from a neglectful situation, and he has now safely come into our care. He will most likely remain in quarantine for a month or more and is scheduled to see the vet on Friday. Dogs like him need a safe, quiet place to spend that quarantine time — a place where they can decompress, begin to heal, and learn what safety feels like. Just like Wolfie, who needed months to recover and learn that humans could offer food, comfort, safety, and ultimately love, this dog now has that same chance. This is why our mission matters so deeply. These dogs need more than rescue — they need time, space, care, and compassion. Please consider helping us continue this mission. Your support makes it possible for dogs like him to have a safe place to land while they heal.

Story
We found Mickey dumped in a field, estimate age when found 4 months old. He is now going on a year old. All his shots are up to date. His vetenarian is Shepherdsville Animal Clinic. We believe him to have been abused. He is a very sweet dog.Loves to cuddle and is not high energy. We have two other german shpeherds, and we thought 3 would be ok, but it is too much to handle. The first one we got is a working line german shepherd. He requires a lot of our time, going through intense K9 training. Mickey has got out of the yard and been aggressive towards neighbor. He did nip one neighbor on the leg, just a scratch. We then put him in training with the K9 handler to figure out what was causing this. He has been in training for few months, taking him to Lowes, socializing him, working on his obedience, and behavior. He is doing a lot better in public, but will need to be leashed and continued training.
